MarcoPolo Arctic
© 2015 MarcoPolo Learning
This third MarcoPolo app isn't as good as the first two, but it does succeed in providing a sandbox-style setting where you can explore basic Arctic life. Some of the animals become animated after they are assembled, jigsaw style. Others simply respond to the touch. The illustrations are nicely adapted for a tablet-sized screen and the narration is clear. Content includes four puzzles (land animals, land and sea animals, whales, and birds) with 30 arctic animals, six different types of food (feed the polar bear, and help the musk ox graze) and three types of arctic environments (tundra, taiga, and ocean).
